Stories and Studies in Human Ecology

“When we understand what heals the Earth, we understand what heals us. When we understand what heals us, we understand what heals others. And when we understand what heals others, we understand the very roots of peace.”

Heather I. Succio, Founder

Our Principles

Be kind.

We practice mutual aid and collective care—strengthening the relationships that help us.

Live green.

We practice environmental stewardship and green living—protecting the places that hold us.

Find beauty.

We practice fierce compassion and radical solidarity—modeling the principles that heal us.

We are built on ancestral and contemporary lands of Indigenous peoples. We aim to restore, renew, and revitalize these lands in honor of those who bore and raised them.

We believe Humanity, Opportunity, Parity, and Empathy are essential rights. We choose this model of HOPE as our guiding framework and honor it in all our endeavors.

We support the Sustainable Development Goals: a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere.​
